Lee el siguiente párrafo y ayuda a Miguel a responder las preguntas.

Miguel has dreamed of becoming a musician since he was a child, even though his family has always banned music for a mysterious reason. For years, his grandmother has destroyed any instrument she has found in the house. Miguel doesn’t understand why, but his desire to play the guitar has grown stronger over time.

Before discovering the truth about his family, Miguel has believed that his great-great-grandfather was Ernesto de la Cruz, a famous musician. He watched all of Ernesto’s performances and had memorized his songs. However, when Miguel accidentally enters the Land of the Dead, he learns that everything he believed was a lie.

During his adventure, Miguel has met Héctor, who turns out to be his real great-great-grandfather. Héctor tells Miguel that before he died, he wrote many songs that Ernesto de la Cruz had stolen. This revelation changes everything Miguel has thought about his family and identity.

Thanks to this journey, Miguel has learned the value of memory, family, and truth.

A. LET'S READ!

Read the fable below carefully. (Bacalah fabel berikut dengan saksama.)

---

The Rabbit and the Turtle

Once upon a time, there was a rabbit. He was very proud of himself because he could run very fast. He often laughed at other animals because they walked slowly. One day, the rabbit met a turtle. The turtle walked very, very slowly.

"Hey, Turtle! You are so slow!" said the rabbit, laughing.

The turtle felt angry but he stayed calm. "Why don't we have a race, Rabbit? Let's see who is faster," said the turtle.

The rabbit laughed even harder. "You? Race with me? That's funny! But okay, let's race."

The race began. The rabbit ran very fast and left the turtle far behind. The rabbit thought, "The turtle is so slow. I have plenty of time. I can take a nap." So the rabbit slept under a big tree.

Meanwhile, the turtle kept walking. He did not stop. He walked slowly but step by step, he got closer to the finish line.

When the rabbit woke up, he ran as fast as he could. But it was too late. The turtle had already crossed the finish line. The turtle won the race.

The rabbit felt very ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, Turtle. I laughed at you. Now I understand that being fast is not everything."

The turtle smiled and said, "It's okay, Rabbit. Slow and steady wins the race."

Moral value: Don't underestimate others. Keep trying and never give up.

The past simple is used to talk about actions in the past. In affirmative sentences, we use the structure “subject + V2/ed”, for example: “I watched TV yesterday.” For negative sentences, we use “subject + did not + base verb”, such as “She did not go to school.” In yes/no questions, the structure is “Did + subject + base verb?”, for example: “Did you watch TV?” For wh-questions, we use “Wh-word + did + subject + base verb?”, such as “Where did you go?” With the verb “to be”, we use “was” for I, he, she, it and “were” for you, we, they. Common time expressions like “yesterday”, “last night”, and “ago” are often used with the past simple.
